Calling My Spirit Back Quotes

“I never learned how to be a woman in this world because I didn't know what it meant to be one. What I learned were things I was supposed to do and how to carry myself, but no one taught me to do that and trudge through my trauma at the same time.”

“…before we are human beings, we are light. When we are light, we see everything. We see the past and we see the future. We see how everything will happen in our lives and we know what our purpose is. As light, we pick our parents before we are born. We pick them and everyone that comes into our lives. We pick our experiences and everything that happens to us. We know the path we pick will make us grow and contribute to who we are as human beings in order to live our purpose. Some individuals remember everything they knew as light. Most of us forget what our purpose is, and it makes our time on Earth a struggle until we find our way back to our purpose, if we ever do.”

“Patriarchy believes emotion is weak and has no place in business or governance. It means leaving pieces of you behind when you sit at the table. It means that if you want to be part of the winning side, you have to comply and be ready to be part of the team without holding them back.

Matriarchal and egalitarian systems promote love-based decision-making and space for people to share their emotions.”
